Lower back pain
My query about backpain was answered by Dr Upasana. She wanted to know more details. I have lower back pain which feels as of my merves are twitching and sometimes the twitching sensations does move to the upper left thigh. I am not exactly sure how this happened but previously i got lower back pain after sleeping on hard surface. The pain does increase at certain time of the day. My office work involves sitting in front of desktop most of the time and i do workout with weights. I do maintain a straight posture both sitting and standing. The pain
started two weeks back and i have stopped working
out since. The pain used to be more when i wake up earlier but now its subsided. However around evening there is a dull pain and the twitching sensation in back and upper thigh. Is this serious??In case i have to consult, should i consult a general doctor or physitherapist or rheumatologist? I thank Dr Upasana for replying to previous query. Was not able to answer on that page.

Hello,
So taken the fact that you have pain radiating to a thigh, it means that your nerve is getting pressed by the bulged disc. So you should take good physiotherapy treatment for the back to strengthen your core muscles to avoid such pains furthur and then once you are pain free you could resume your work out schedule.
Next Steps
As you have sitting work ,you should break your posture every 30 mins and do a backward stretch and walk a little then sit back again.
Health Tips
The pain radiating to the thigh is alarming of worsening of the problem so avoid those activities after which you feel that.
